The cross-corrugated heaters consist of a wavelike absorbing plate and a wavelike bottom plate, which are crosswise positioned to form the air flow channel. Two types of these heaters are considered. For the type 1 heater, the wavelike shape of the absorbing plate is along the flow direction and...

The hydrodynamic interaction between two particles, suspended in shear flows, is fundamental to the macroscopic characterization of suspension flows. Although the understanding of the hydrodynamic interaction between two particles suspended in a quiescent or linear shear flow is mature, studies...

In this study, the impact of the bounding walls on the dynamics of a group of neutrally-buoyant identical rigid spheres freely moving at negligible Reynolds numbers in a wide-gap Couette flow, which is important for understanding the particle migrations presented in concentrated suspensions...

The preserved greengage is a favorite dried fruit in China. In processing preserved greengages, the drying of salted greengages is a key and energy-consuming process. Traditionally, the drying of salted greengages mainly relies on natural sun drying and requires about 48 days. In this study, an...
